Hebrews 11 Records Glorious Victories Of Faithfs
Champions Yet Here Speaks Of Those Who Died
gNot Having Received The Promises.h
Still, They Died In Faith Just As They Had Lived In Faith.
The Key To Understanding This Admirable Group Is That
When Given A Promise By God, They Became Fully
Persuaded That The Promise Was True.
Thou They Embraced { Literally gGreetedh} That Promise
In Their Hearts.
They Also Confessed { Admitted And Acknowledged } That
The Focus Of Their Lives Was Beyond Anything They Could
See In This World, That They Were Strangers And Pilgrims
Here.
Thus, While Each Of These Persons Did Receive Many
Victories Through Faith, The Text Says That They Did Not
Receive Everything That Was Promise.
But Whether Or Not They Received What They Asked And
Hoped For Did Not Change Their Behavior Nor Their Steadfast
Trust In GOD.
For Us As Well, Faithfs Worship And Walk Do Not Depend On
Answered Or Unanswered Prayers.
Our Confession Of The Lordship Of Jesus In Our Lives Is To
Be Consistent - A Daily Celebration, With Deep Gratitude.

Having Seen { The Promises } Afar Off { They } Were Assured
Of Them, Embraced Them And Confessed That They Were
Strangers And Pilgrims On The Earth.
Hebrews 11:13.
